Recipe: Simply mix coconut butter, coconut oil, shea butter, apricot and ripe mashed banana in a blender until smooth, then stir in cup of sugar (preferably raw sugar), and then enjoy. This mixture will last for 48 hours in the fridge. Make sure to let the amount you wish to use get room temperature before applying.

Besides being the ingredient for the best homemade face mask, bananas are also perfect for scrubs. This body scrub DIY is great for those with dry skin. Bananas are high in Vitamins B6 and C as well as antioxidants. The sugar removes old skin cells while the coconut butter and coconut oil work as moisturizers. Shea Butter is high in Vitamin A, as is the apricot kernel oil which also contains vitamins C and E.
